SportsDayDFW columnist Kevin Sherrington hosted a chat Wednesday to talk all things sports. Here are some of the highlights:

Question: Have you assigned your (preliminary) grade to the
Cowboys 2014 draft?

Sherrington: I'm glad you said preliminary grade. We don't
spend enough time going back and judging a draft when we really know how a team
does. From the looks of it, it was a typical Cowboys draft. Lately they've been
doing better in the first round, at least getting a productive player, even if,
like last year, they possibly could have had a player like Frederick later. Martin was a good choice.
Trading up for Lawrence
in the second may prove to be a good choice. If he ends up as at least the
third-best pass rusher in this draft (behind Clowney and Barr), then the
Cowboys probably were right to trade up and lose a third-round pick. But if
they made the same mistake with Lawrence
that they did with Claiborne, then they have once again cost themselves starters
at multiple positions. Added some nice picks at the back of the draft,
particularly Ahmad Dixon, who brings some real attitude. Overall, I'd say a
B-minus.

Question: I think the Cowboys are getting better. They need
their Corners to be stronger, and they need the defensive line to be fierce. I
predict them to go 10-6, winning the Division, even with the tough schedule.
They will find a way to win keys games this year. What is your take?

Sherrington: Abel, I think you have a very sunny outlook on
life, which should bode well for you in your personal experience. I've said I
8-8 would be a practical pick, 9-7 a decent possibility with an outside shot at
10-6 if everything breaks right. But that's only if Romo is healthy and
productive, and the defense undergoes a massive upgrade.
